One Of My Pieces. Stone Cutting And Silversmithing For 43 Years Now.

Now, I'm not claiming to be anything more than a wrench that can also fab, so bear that in mind as you peruse my Tale of Woe. Ran out of solid wire, while building a large hose rack. Had a spool of gasless fluxcore wire on the welding cart. Ignoring the dust on the package, installed, fed the gun and...ran. One. Bead. Then, I remembered how much I despise gfw for this particular application...My waaaaycool multiprocess rig damned nearly can run itself - and even IT hates gfw. Time to go visit my favorite welding supply!

I had to...such a shrill objection!!

Yeah, don't ignore these. You can die of dehydration in the winter, too.

About damned time.

The man who raised me. 23 years after his passing, 3-21-2000; certain songs remind me sharply of how much I miss his voice and presence...I know in my heart that gentle Warrior flys free, as, from time to time, Red-tailed Hawks pay closer attention to me than should be warranted. On his birthday, 06/17.

'It's discouraging for dairy farmers:' Coronavirus' economic impact on Wisconsin

With the first case of coronavirus confirmed in Wisconsin, the impacts could extend further than just health.

This is capitalism's vast irrationality and inhumanity in action. Markets and The Economy™ matter more to capitalism than the concrete distribution of resources according to tangible human need.

Resources exist in abundance -- give them to people. Housing sits empty -- give it to people. The rules of the feast table should apply to our economic system -- no one gets seconds until everyone has gotten a plate.

We stand at a crossroads in these chaotic times: socialism or barbarism! The ruling class repeatedly chooses the latter. We need to organize and choose the former!

Yeah, definitely yeah 👻

Stamping, shaped, soldered, shaped into a ring, and a little acid to bring out the runes. Final finish will happen when Big Fella drops by, so that I can size it to his 13+ finger, then do the last shaping, sanding, and polish it. Love doing this, so I do!

Jewelry NSFW??

Since when do folks flag pictures of jewelry repairs NSFW? Is it because there's nekkid silver there, or what??
